HOW MANY, by MATTHEW BILLER
First Line: How many came seeking for food?
Last Line: A thief, and a murderer...We three.

How many came seeking for food?
Rank upon rank, a multitude.

How many came to the wedding feast?
Many were there, two score at least.

How many, Master, on whom thou relied?
There were twelve who followed close at my side.

How many went to the cross with thee?
A thief, and a murderer...we three.
